that part on 5, is the white piece post to connect to the grey part or the red part?

WOW! This is super piece effiecient!

Crankshafts turn rotational motion into up-and-down. This can also be seen in the stair lift, and network 2 of 'Tartarus' (a ball machine)

i am using a rubber ball and i broke the red piece on step 5

mathsboy314 11 years ago

Rubber iscreases friction, so it won't work.

do i need the pannel part or can i use a blue connector on step 3

mathsboy314 11 years ago

You must use the panel, that way the ball can get pushed off

it wont let me.its just not working.

mathsboy314 12 years ago

Is it going under the ball holder?
If yes, thenturn the blue rods of the base into red rods, and add a second panel to the ball holder.
I would've, but the lift before in my ball machine stuffed so I had to make it lower.
